"Throughout my career, I have championed diversity of both race and body type. This casting includes both iconic supermodels and fresh faces in a modern representation of beauty and body.

Models showcasing their strengths seems to be an ongoing theme for the end of year, as Love Magazine's current advent calendar video series also features models completing various workouts. Standing out from the pack, however, the CR Girls 2018 calendar has a charitable component to it and will be donating all proceeds from sales to the Special Olympics.

The idea for teaming up with the non-profit organization came from Roitfeld herself, who was inspired by her visually impaired personal trainer. "I am in awe of any person who devotes their mind and body to athletics, but especially those with disabilities. This is the definition of courage. I am pleased the proceeds of this calendar support the Special Olympics—an organization I greatly respect—and to promote the visibility of its efforts,” Roitfeld said in a statement.
